Observations in Bangkok

Bangkok is the home to the most colorful taxis ever. They come not only in yellow, blue, green, red, but also HOT PINK!!! (Unfortunately, my photographing skills are not up to par and this is a terrible picture.. but you can see how pinkt it is right?) And traffic lights tell you how much time you have to wait before it will change. Nice huh? Unfortunately, street lanes are rather narrow here.. they barely fit one car, let alone a bus!

Like many other cities, Bangkok has many monuments. You can find them every couple of blocks on the large blvds. But unlike most cities I've visited, these monuments cover only 1 subject - the king. There are monument-sized posters of him everywhere! I wonder how they choose which photo to use where...

I'm off to the airport for my flight to Udon Thani.

And oh,
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!
